Day 6 9-18-08 West Coast Sea Kayak Symposium, Port Townsend, WA
This was set-up day for the symposium. We have a booth on the retail floor and the Cascade staff was incredible in getting it set up. We rent a house on officers row each year that gives us a time to enjoy each other’s company and have some fun, in additional to our efforts at the symposium. We have an incredible staff here with Alex Inclan, Steve Jones, Ian MacInerny, Steve Wort, Meg Kelly and Tim Davis. What a great group. Alex anchors the entire retail operation and is great. On the water instruction is the focus for Stave Jones, Ian supports Valley Kayaks with the beach demos and Alex up in the booth. Steve Wort is with Epic Kayaks and Valley Kayaks on the water demos, Meg splits time between our booth and Epic Kayaks and Tim is with Current Designs for demos. That leaves me very free to network with manufacturers, explore opportunities, and conduct presentations.
In the evening we attended the vendor party and the Port Townsend Brewery and had a great time! It’s a marvelous microbrewery and they make marvelous ales. My favorite is the Porter. See the photo preparing for our return to Fort Worden.
